FORGE A DYNASTY TO RULE A KINGDOM

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own agenda.

A good lord will always need friends to support him. But beware, as loyal vassals can quickly turn to bitter rivals, and some might not be as reliable as they seem... Stand ready, and increase your prestige until the world whispers your name in awe. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?

Crusader Kings II explores one of the defining periods in world history in an experience crafted by the masters of Grand Strategy. Medieval Europe is brought to life in this epic game of knights, schemes, and thrones...

Two things. I like how he brings up Lustful first.

Also: I find it amusing that he finds kids killing eachother amusing.

I have to say that map is not really historical, 90% it is but there are some minor glitches...

@DelTevynes

you don't need a high end card to play this, in fact, if you can afford Crusader Knights II, you can easily get a card that could play this. Try even getting a mid or low range card. Just don't go to a Big Box Store, they charge too much. Something from an AMD 6500 series or Geforce 520+ series would be easily enough.
